Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9712112A1] In a cased wellbore (10) having one or more cased and cemented drainholes (24) extending therefrom such that the elliptical shaped opening (46) or junction of each drainhole (24) with the primary well (10) is sealed and cut flush with the inside of the primary well casing (18), an inventive method and system is disclosed for: (a) isolating each perforated and/or drainhole completion (108, 126) within the primary wellbore (10), (b) providing flow control means (162, 164) for each completion (108, 126) to permit selective testing, stimulation, production, or abandonment, and (c) facilitating selective re-entry into any cased drainhole (24) for conducting additional drilling, completion, or remedial work.
